I wonder how common this kind of construction is within rural areas where people make do with what they have. Kinda feel sorry for the guy (because he'll have to take it down, obviously put time and effort into it, and may well be fined)._________________lolgov.

The preponderance of shanty towns would suggest otherwise. At the very least, regulations are unenforced (which effectively means they don't exist)._________________lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.

I cheated and went to the end. They still think it's funny after 50+ pages, plus they like to spam other sites with links to that thread. I also think that most of the population of that forum is possibly related by marriage.

Poorly-built shacks are much more common just about anywhere outside of the U.S. and Western/Northern Europe. There are entire sections of cities in South America, Asia, and Africa that are pretty much nothing but shacks, many built a lot worse than this one.

What's funny about this one is the apparent haplessness of the person building it. He seems to have no conceptual grasp of simple mechanics -- something most people have by instinct by the time they are a teenager, and he seems to be very much without practical "handiness" (common sense about how to go about something)._________________History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives. -- Abba Eban

They're links from BBC and not an obscure forum.

Clicking on the link give you all the details you need and besides the link is a verification of the event reported in the thread title. One may choose to read it but much of the information is already conveyed by the title itself. Unlike here, which I thought was a new video game, porno movie, sci-fi novel.
